Kickboxing Studio Software 2026: Kickboxing Gym Software Compared

Kickboxing studio and gym software compared: mmaGPT Academy for technique feedback, plus Glofox, PushPress, Gymdesk, Kicksite and Spark Membership.

By Collin J. Smith7 min readUpdated:

Quick answer: The best kickboxing studio software for coaching is mmaGPT Academy. Members film a round of pads, bag or sparring and get AI feedback on kicks, punches and combinations with a timestamp and a drill, and your coaches see everyone's progress in one dashboard, for $17 per seat a month with a free 10-day pilot. For class booking and billing, pair it with Glofox for class-based studios, PushPress with a free Core plan, or Gymdesk from $75 a month.

Kickboxing gyms come in two shapes. A fitness kickboxing studio sells classes, so it needs bag-slot booking, class packs, intro offers and waitlists. A kickboxing gym with a fight team runs on memberships and coaching time. Both need management software for the front desk, and both benefit from seeing whether members' technique is improving. This guide puts mmaGPT Academy first for coaching and compares five kickboxing studio systems.

Disclosure: mmaGPT publishes this comparison and mmaGPT Academy is our product.

The tools

1. mmaGPT Academy

What it does: Members film a round of pads, bag work, shadow or sparring on their phone. Each clip comes back with timestamped notes on kicks, punches, combinations and footwork, and a drill for the main mistake. Instructors get a roster dashboard with session counts, recent submissions, last-active dates and each student's score trend, plus every student's film history and recurring mistakes flagged across sessions. It runs in the phone browser, so there is nothing to install. It also covers boxing, Muay Thai and MMA.

Pricing: $17 per seat a month, with no minimum; each seat includes 8 analyses per billing period. See Academy pricing.

Free pilot: 10 days for you and up to 10 members. No sales call.

Best for: kickboxing gyms that want members to see progress, which keeps them coming back.

Honest limitation: it does not do billing, scheduling or check-ins. Pair it with one of the systems below.

2. Glofox

What it does: Studio management with class capacity limits, coach and bag scheduling, waitlists that auto-fill, memberships, class packs and intro offers, autopay and late-cancel policies, and a branded member app. Glofox describes these features for boxing studios; they fit class-based kickboxing studios the same way.

Pricing: not published; you request a quote.

Best for: fitness kickboxing studios that sell classes by the slot.

3. PushPress

What it does: Drop-ins, class packs, personal training appointments, digital waivers, waitlists, recurring billing with failed-payment recovery, a member app and kiosk check-in.

Pricing: Core is $0 a month, with costs covered by payment processing fees. Core Pro is $159 a month and Core Max $229.

Best for: new kickboxing gyms that want to start at $0.

4. Gymdesk

What it does: Memberships and recurring billing, drop-ins, class packs and private sessions with online booking, waivers, gear sales, attendance and ranks.

Pricing: $75 a month for up to 50 active members with Gymdesk Payments ($100 without), $100 for 51 to 100, $150 for 101 to 150 and $200 for 151 to 250.

Best for: kickboxing gyms that run both classes and a fight team.

5. Kicksite

What it does: School management with attendance, lead capture and failed-payment flags.

6. Spark Membership

What it does: Books trial classes, bills members and tracks attendance in one place, with lead follow-up automation and a rep who sets it up.

Pricing: $199 a month, with free student data migration.

Free trial: 8 weeks.

Best for: studios that rely on trial-class signups.

Keeping kickboxing members

Fitness kickboxing members leave when they stop seeing progress. Booking software keeps the classes full; it cannot tell a member their roundhouse is better than last month. mmaGPT Academy gives each member a score and notes for every round they film, so progress is something they can see.

How to choose

  1. Start with coaching. Start the free 10-day mmaGPT Academy pilot with up to 10 members.
  2. Pick your management system. Glofox for a class-based studio, PushPress to start free, Gymdesk for classes plus a fight team, Kicksite for a small gym, Spark for trial-class follow-up.
  3. Check what members will use. mmaGPT runs in the phone browser, so there is nothing to install.

How we chose

mmaGPT Academy is first because it tracks each member's technique; the other systems handle booking, memberships and payments. Prices and features come from each company's own pages, checked November 1 to 9, 2026. Prices can change, and payment processing fees are extra unless stated.
